Got called up from our AoO in idaho and made a long drive from twin falls to lake city, fl to fight a wild fire in the southern swamps of Ga, a few miles across the state line. My assigned ship  Our sister ship  There are 2 S-61s, 2 K Maxx, 2 H-60s and our 2 CH-47s, which for 1 47, can drop as much, and sometimes more water per cycle than 2 of any of the other ships on this heli base combined.

Why should I trade one tyrant three thousand miles away for three thousand tyrants one mile away? An elected legislature can trample a man's rights as easily as a king can!

 K-Maxx funky looking thing, but for its size, is a lifting sob.   Both of the 60s I forgot about the fixed wing tankers. there were 3 on site, and an additional 2 were called in.  Barely can see the smoke, its just over the top and left of the vertical blue canoes.  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
